What is an
Invited Session?

An Invited
Session is organized by a scholar on a special topic of his/her
interest after receiving in invitation from the Conference General Chair. Some
examples are: Artificial Intelligence, Issues in Teaching Technology,
Internet Business, Outsourcing, HR issues in Auto Industry, Management
Education, Multinational Business, Online Teaching, etc.

He/she will
invite scholars to submit abstract/paper for the Session. If the
abstract/paper is found appropriate, he will accept the same in the Invited
Session.

An Invited
Session should have 4 to 6 papers.

Invited Session
cannot have a paper in absentia.

The session
will be clearly identified as an Invited Session in the Conference Programme
bulletin.

Invited Session
organizer will submit the complete session plan to the Conference General Chair
by February 14, 2009. The session plan will have listing of papers,
abstracts, and names of authors.

It is expected
that the scholar organizing the Invited Session would attend the conference

identify a chair for the Invited Session.

All participants attending the conference, including the speakers and organizer
of the Invited Session, are required to follow the process of paper
submission for the proceedings (in case they wish to publish) and pay the
requisite registration fee, like other conference participants.

All Invited
Sessions chairs will be explicitly recognized in the conference programme
bulletin.
